"In the twenty-first century we are faced with a basic rule. When someone has their survival strategy based on knowledge of a single technology is doomed to failure. Nevertheless, if this strategy is based on constant updating and lifelong learning so it's easier to augur success."João Greno Brogueira, January 2015

This video animation showcases the new photorealistic capabilities of Google Earth to create stunning drone-like presentations for architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) projects. The 3D model of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) was exported and positioned geographically (georeference) from AutoCAD with Plex.Earth.

BIM of museum architecture keeps complexity, costs & quality of final designs under control. BIM-ready 3D models not only take care of visualizing the design, but also assist stakeholders during construction, maintenance and refurbishment to take informed decisions.

Atomic Lab, a Buenos Aires-based startup founded by maker Gino Tubaro, has provided hundreds of children in Argentina with low-cost 3D printed prosthetic hands that have enabled them to play sports, draw, and perform a number of other valuable activities.

HI There, Mario Guttman and Tim Meador have developed a new geometry importer from Grasshopper to Revit. I have started using it on a project and wanted to share the initial results with you. You can download all of the Hummingbird items here http://ghhummingbird.wordpress.com/ this project is in it's initial design phase and we are trying…

About a year ago I was asked to speak at the University of Oregon's annual H.O.P.E.S. conference and lead a workshop demonstrating the computational approach to design we promote on this blog and at the Yazdani Studio. The workshop focused on the optimization tools we have been piecing together using Grasshopper for Rhino and its many add ons.…

In this video we show how to insert terrain and georeferenced imagery from Google Earth into AutoCAD. This demonstrates the power of Plex.Earth to scale up productivity dramatically, at every stage of the design, by giving the complete and realistic view of your projects' area (wherever they are - worldwide), in just a few minutes. In this case study, in less than 5 minutes, we created a detailed 3D terrain model of the Agios Georgios island wind farm, in the Aegean Sea, using the unique and brand new capabilities of Plex.Earth. It all started with a simple coast outline in plain AutoCAD... Then: 1) We are locating the area in Google Earth, by using the 'Zoom To Area' command of Plex.Earth. 2) Import high-resolution imagery from Google Earth, using the advanced functionality of Plex.Earth to create mosaics for covering large areas - at the highest accuracy. 3) We are importing AutoCAD blocks in the locations of the wind turbines on the island. 4) Using the 'Convert to 3D Imagery', a unique feature introduced in Plex.Earth 4, we are creating a realistic 3D model of the terrain. 5) The new feature 'Snap Objects to Terrain' automatically brings the blocks to their actual elevation. 6) Finally we are exporting the blocks to Google Earth (using the 'Export drawing to Google Earth' command), so we can see and explore our design into its real environment. Don't forget to subscribe to stay tuned for more magic with Plex.Earth! To see more visit our web site: https://plexearth.com Do you want to be a beta tester? We are currently calling for a limited number of beta testers for Plex.Earth 4. Apply here: https://plexearth.com/beta4

Researchers from ETH Zurich University plan to use giant robots and 3D printers to build “the first house in the world to be designed, planned and built using predominantly digital processes.” The DFAB House will fuse cutting-edge technologies – including 3D printing, robotic fabrication and prefab construction – to create a futuristic home worthy of the Jetsons.

Generative design will become more accessible to the 3D printing industry with a new software tool.Starting later this year Autodesk's Netfabb will incorporate generative design technology that was previously part of Project Dreamcatcher.The U.S. software company has now confirmed the rumours about the generative design release that have been on the lips of many since

Fastbrick Robotics, an Australian construction company that has built a bricklaying 3D printing robot, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with construction giant Caterpillar. The two companies will work together to develop Fastbrick's robotic bricklaying technology.

The term computational designer has garnered considerable attention from both recruiters and job applicants in recent years. We can read this as an interesting indicator that design organizations are actively looking at new skillsets to evolve their process. However, for all the hype around this new role, there appears to be very little industry consensus…
